Baroness Amos: In 2004 930 canvassers were employed by the Electoral Office for Northern Ireland. Their duties were:
	to call at each household within a specified area to hand deliver pre-addressed individual electoral registration forms;
	where contact with a member of the household was achieved, to explain the registration process, to provide new or. additional forms to accommodate changes to the information for that household on the then current register, and to obtain a signature as proof of delivery;
	where no contact was made, to deliver the individual electoral registration forms for that household and guidance notes;
	to review the then current database of residential properties in the allocated area and to update the information held accordingly;
	to revisit each household within 10 days of the delivery date to collect the forms and to check that they are fully completed;
	to assist electors with queries regarding the completion of the form;
	where no contact was made, to leave additional forms, guidance notes and a Freepost return envelope; and
	to make a weekly visit to the local area electoral office to submit all collected forms.
	The cost of this operation in 2004 was £829,000.

Lord Oakeshott of Seagrove Bay: asked Her Majesty's Government:
	Whether they will place in the Library of the House the minutes of the discussions they have had with Child Support Agency management over their corporate governance action plan and assurance statement.

Lord Whitty: The Greenhouse Gas Emission Allowance Trading Directive states that prior to 2008, the total quantity of allowances to be allocated shall be consistent with a path towards achieving or over-achieving each member state's target under the EC burden sharing agreement (the joint fulfilment of commitments under the EU's Kyoto protocol target) and the Kyoto protocol.
	The Commission has not published information on progress made by member states in meeting their Kyoto targets. However, the UK Government have commission consultants, Ecofys, critically to analyse member states NAPs within which an assessment of the cap compared to emissions in 1990 has been made. Information on member states on which we have information is detailed in the following table. The information alone is not sufficient to determine accurately what percentage reduction on 1990 levels is being achieved through phase I of EU ETS across the EU as a whole, as information is not available for all member states.
	A quantitative analysis of the impact of EU ETS alone is not sufficient to determine the level of progress across the EU as member states may have other policies in place to bridge any gap, including purchase of project credits. Additionally member states may choose to use phase II of the scheme to meet their Kyoto targets, and as a result allocations may be tighter for the period 2008–12.
